Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

If you have been injured while walking, crossing a street, or using a pedestrian area, you may be facing medical bills, lost income, and a difficult recovery. Our personal injury team helps injured pedestrians understand their legal options and pursue the compensation they may be entitled to.

Pedestrian Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries

Pedestrians have little physical protection when involved in a collision with a motor vehicle. Even a relatively low-speed impact can result in serious or life-changing injuries.

A pedestrian accident may require emergency treatment, surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care. Injuries may also prevent you from working and affect your ability to perform everyday activities.

If another person’s negligence caused your accident, you may have a personal injury claim. Our role is to investigate what happened, identify potentially responsible parties, document your losses, and pursue the compensation available under applicable law.

What Can Cause a Pedestrian Accident?

Pedestrian accidents can happen for many reasons, including:

  • Distracted driving
  • Failure to yield to pedestrians
  • Speeding
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Unsafe turns
  • Driving under the influence
  • Failing to check for pedestrians
  • Poor visibility or inadequate lighting
  • Unsafe parking or vehicle movement
  • Dangerous road conditions
  • Defective traffic signals
  • Other negligent driving behavior

Determining how the accident occurred can be important when establishing liability and pursuing a personal injury claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

You may have a personal injury claim if a driver’s negligence caused or contributed to the accident. The specific facts, available evidence, and applicable law will determine whether you may be entitled to compensation.
A driver’s allegation does not necessarily determine liability. Evidence such as photographs, witness statements, traffic-camera footage, police reports, and accident reconstruction may help establish what happened and whether multiple parties contributed to the accident.
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, physical impairment, emotional distress, and other losses permitted by applicable law.
You should be careful when communicating with an insurance company after an accident. Statements about your injuries or what happened may affect your claim. Consider consulting an attorney before providing a recorded statement or accepting a settlement.
The deadline depends on the applicable law and circumstances of the case, including where the accident occurred and who may be responsible. Because missing a legal deadline can affect your ability to pursue compensation, it is important to seek legal advice promptly.
You may benefit from an attorney if you suffered significant injuries, liability is disputed, an insurance company is challenging your claim, or your injuries may result in substantial future losses. An attorney can review your circumstances and explain your legal options.
